The Daily Bruh Review 12-10-14

It is finals week for many colleges and it is no exception St. Bonaventure, the school I go to. The stakes are a little higher for me too because I am in graduate school. So take that in mind that I have still been delivering these daily. So I'm going to keep my observations and notes short and sweet.

1. Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks

Not sure if this was Chandler Parsons best game as a Mav but it definitely look like one of his better games. The Mavs have played pretty well and Parsons was hitting the 3 ball against a team that is one of the best in the league at defending the 3. I think Parsons was 6-10 from 3 and poured in 30 points. The Mavs offense is just really efficient and it showed because they dropped 105 on the best scoring defensive team in the league. The surprising part of this game was that the Grizz scored 114. The Grizz have found ways to score but not a team that usually gets into these types of games.

The biggest thing you should know about the Grizzlies though is that somehow their post play keeps getting better. Both Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph have pretty similar skill sets on the post but they have figured out how to be versitile and to compliment each other perfectly. They are both versatile so they just know how to switch roles down there and they both are great passers. Only team in the league with a front court like this.

Tony Allen is really excited about it.

2. Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Milwaukee Bucks

The Thunder are definitely trying to get their groove back and it shows at times. There is still some lapses in defense and some stagnation on offense. This was their best offensive performance of the season and the offense flowed a lot better at times than I ever saw the Thunder flow but it is still a work in progress. This win and the last few have just showed that the Thunder are good at winning games against teams that they should beat. The red hot Cavaliers coming to OKC Thursday should be a good test to how far they are in this return. Either way the Thunder are starting to correct their poor record.

Also they are starting to look long and scary athletic again. What other teams have guards that can do these things...




The Milwaukee bucks have surprised me in many different ways this season. They are pretty good defensively and Brandon Knight is having a great year and finally looking like the point guard people thought he could be, coming out of Kentucky. Jabari Parker had a good game as well and looked a lot like Carmelo with some good isolation mid-range jumpers. It is a little hard to see what their identity is though. They have a lot of nice pieces but not sure who their go to guy is or their bread and butter is. This makes sense for a young team with a new coach but it's crazy that they have won some games along the way.

3. Indiana vs Louisville basketball

I had this set up going with 3 screens.

This game was the one that I paid the least attention to. I will say that the first thing I thought was that Indiana looked surprisingly good. The game got away from them at the end but they looked a lot better than the team did last year. Louisville is just a really good team. Montrezl Harrell was just every where for dunks and putbacks. Most people focus on Wayne Blackshear but they have really good guard play in general with both Terry Rozier and Chris Jones dropping over 20. Louisville has aa chance to make a deep tourney run again.

Smaller Observations

• The Cavs beat the Raptors for the second time in 5 days and I don't know if they would have won thsi game if DeRozan played because the Raptors were in control for most of the game but man their big 3 has been balling.

• I just realized nobody has tried to nickname this big three like they did in Miami. Maybe because naming a group of 3 has proven to be pretty damn hard.

• The Lakers beat the Kings in the close game and I don't know why but the Lakers look a lot better to watch with Swaggy P back on the team.

• Kobe is about the pass Michael Jordan in points which is just insane on so many levels. I wonder if MJ is regretting those years he retired. 

• Chris Rock was a guest on NBA TV and he said that there are Kobe guys and there are Shaq guys. I love Kobe but I am a Shaq guy. If you overly like Kobe just go back and check Shaq's stats in the Lakers 3 finals series in the early 2000's. They are absurdly good.

• Cam Newton Smiling after being in an accident is so Cam Newton.

• The Spurs lost to the Jazz? What?

• The Suns lose again. It helps the Thunder but hurts my heart.

• The Bruh of the night goes to Jon Lester for signing to the Cubs for $155 million. This is a good bruh for Lester and a bad bruh for the Cubs. The Cubs will be good maybe and needed pitching but man i don't know if Lester isn 155 million dollar good.
